“Michael was the most caring, considerate, punctual, and responsible person we could have ever imagined to watch over our dog. We booked him for two days of three visits. He put such thoughtful consideration into every visit. Each visit was perfectly on time, all instructions followed, and a thorough summary of his visits were provided consistently. I’m so relieved to have found a responsible person to care for our pup. We will be rebooking with Michael again!!”

Ephrata dog parents share their Rover experiences
Akaycia was absolutely amazing! She came over to meet Tenchi (my dog) before we left on vacation and my dog instantly loved her. She came over and hung out with her, took her for walks each time (she did this on her own) reported exactly how she was doing, potty breaks, and I also got lots of great pictures! I’ve never been away from my dog who is 10 before and she made me feel comfortable and kept in contact so I knew she was doing well. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Akaycia!
Gabby is wonderful . The dogs took to her quickly. She is punctual. We were so nervous this being our first time leaving our dogs home with a sitter …. Gabby is a definite big YES! We already have her booked for upcoming dates . As long as she’s available, she is our go to sitter for our fur babies ❤️
Jennifer did a few drop-ins for us in early January. We have a Sr. Golden and a puppy Golden to which she gave the best care. We did a meet and greet prior to the drop in so she could meet the pups. I was so impressed with the thoroughness of her questions to understand habits and schedules. If the pups could talk I know they would say they were overjoyed with her love and attention while she was there. Definitely recommend and would use again.
